Michigan Colocation Locations

With close proximity to major highways and the University of Michigan, and geographically separate from our other data center, this managed data center offers an ideal location for high availability production and disaster recovery.

Our data center in Genesee County is ideally located in Southeast Michigan on a different power grid than Detroit and surrounding suburbs. This data center offers premier hosting facilities for mid-sized firms.

Disaster Recovery Data CentersWith managed data centers located 53 miles apart on separate utility power grids that are connected with Gigabit fiber, Online Tech offers the ideal solution for both production and disaster recovery data center applications.

Michigan Colocation Infrastructure

With over 60,000 square feet of data center space, our Michigan data centers are located 53 miles apart on separate power grids with different utility providers and interconnected through Gigabit fiber.

All critical equipment is N+1, or fully redundant.

Using multiple Internet Service Providers (ISPs), connectivity takes fully redundant paths with automatic failover between providers and circuits should anomalies occur with any Internet connection, ensuring your data and applications are always available.

Michigan Colocation Benefits

Low Risk of Earthquakes

The U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) National Seismic Hazard Mapping project in 2008 shows that Michigan has an extremely low peak ground acceleration (PGA). This means that your servers are safe from earthquakes when colocated in Michigan, and high unlikely to experience downtime from any seismic activity.

Low Risk of Tornadoes and Hurricanes

Servers colocated in Michigan face significantly lower risks of tornados and hurricanes compared to the rest of the U.S. According to the National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration (NOAA), Michigan is among the states with the lowest tornado risk and has never experienced a hurricane.

Natural Cool Climate

Our Michigan data centers run more cost effectively in the state's cool, mild climate. The average outdoor temperature a Michigan data center faces across the year ranges from 25 degrees Fahrenheit to 75 degrees Fahrenheit. This provides free cooling for most of the year. Only four months have temperatures that average over 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
